M&T CAFE & BAR

Strawberry smoothie w/strawberry popping boba. I would definitely recommend especially if you don’t want to wait in line at Starbs or All Star Coffee. Lots of options and solid food choices.

3/29/22 As I entered Ross's parking lot, I noticed a new cafe had opened.
M&T Cafe & Bar.
I was pretty excited about being able to try something new, although I know there are plenty of restaurants around here that I haven't tried, yet this one is in an area I often frequent, so that is a win-win for me!

I initially parked to the side; this is where all of the parking for it and the surrounding stores are; I didn't know exactly how to get in; when I figured that out, the lobby was closed for the time being, drive-through was open.
I looked at their menu, the typical hot and iced drinks were offered, americano's, lattes, mochas, etc., some teas, London fog, chai, and so on; this place also offers blended beverages such as espresso shakes, fruit smoothies, protein smoothies, etc.
But the unique aspect of this was they also have a classic drink section that has listed boba drinks, milk tea with boba, and puff cream; what the heck is puff cream?? What about tiger sugar milk with boba? Unique sounding, right? I won't stop there; MT also offers smoothies, such as passion fruit smoothies with boba, avocado matcha tea with boba (I had that), strawberry shortcake with boba, and many more. Needless to say, there is a slew of extra toppings, there's that puff cream again, and strawberry popping; very interesting, to say the least.

As far as food goes, well, I hope they offer a few more items once the dining area opens, but at the moment you can get biscuits and gravy, a few different breakfast sandwiches, and a few breakfast burritos, as well; as muffins, bagels, and cookies!
Now, about my avocado matcha with boba smoothie. As I have said many times in other reviews, I can't drink a lot of sweet drinks; mildly sweet once in a while is ok, so I inquired about the sweetness, and she, Tarain (I know I messed up her name) said that they could control the amount of sweetness, 30, 50, 75 or 100 percent, of course, 100 being ultimate sweet. I didn't have to put much thought into this one; 30 percent sounded right.
The drink was pretty tasty; very creamy, smooth, and unique. The combination of avocado and matcha was right on the money; not one flavor overtook the other, and the tapioca balls were just a yummy bonus.
I would have preferred a little less sweet than the 30 percent, but it was drinkable. I feel the matcha was probably sweetened as well. Tarain reassured me to start low because they can always add extra sweetness but cannot remove it.

Just how healthy is this drink?? Well, you indeed have avocado and matcha. I feel all the healthiness goes out the door with the added sugar and sweetened boba. As far as I know, boba offers no health benefits, so go into knowing; that the drink is a yummy, tasty, satisfying treat and probably slightly healthier than a milkshake due to the avocado!

TODAY 3/30/22, I returned and ordered a 12oz nonfat Iced latte. I felt it was a little on the weaker side, coffee should have been a little bolder, but being on the muted side, it had somewhat of a bitter taste, surprisingly, and a little more acidic with a bit of an aftertaste. For all of that said, it's my opinion and mine alone. I give the coffee three stir sticks =D

MT Cafe has two (that I know of) other drive-through locations in East Bremerton next to Lowes and the other on Chico Way in Silverdale, Washington.
Both locations can be a little challenging entering and leaving, more so the one on Chico Way in Silverdale.
